The disc was unfortunately cracked in half in transit (as Canada Post tends to handle packages like this very roughly), but the seller promptly issued a refund alongside discussing better shipping options for future purchases. The price was definitely right for this game, but I'd highly recommend other buyers opt for the 25 cent bubble mailer shipping upgrade!

Nice seller and the controller matches the description! Accidentally didn't include the USB cable to charge it but they admitted it before the item arrived and shipped a second package for it.

Gets you thinking about life
What I love about this movie is that it gets me thinking about what is important in life. This regular guy, Harold (Will Ferrell), with a regular job all of a sudden hears a voice that tells him that he is going to die. In a panick, he sets out to figure out what is happening to him and why. He talks with a Lit professor (Dustin Hoffman) who tells him that if he really thinks he is going to die then he should start living the life he always wanted. Taking his advice, Harold starts picking up hobbies he always wanted and pursuing the love of a woman he desires. He ends up figuring out that he is in fact the main character of a novel written by a woman who typically kills off her heroes (who to me represents God) and decides that the death she has planned for him was meant to be. I wish the ... What I love about this movie is that it gets me thinking about what is important in life.

I wish the world had more people like Harold in it. It's one of the best movies filled with symbolism I've encountered.

Stranger Than Fiction
I liked this movie a lot - it had elements of similarly themed films where fictional worlds intersect and influence the real world and vice versa, such as The Hours and The Purple Rose Of Cairo. Yet it takes this concept in a new direction and touches on the philosophies of choice and fate - if the story of our lives is already written, can we change the script? Does knowing what the future holds influence our lives or are we just following a predestined course whatever we do? As you might expect Marc Foster gives good and capable direction and there are lots of elements of the movie that were really very enjoyable. Some scenes are maybe drawn out too long, but for the most part he manages to keep the film flowing smoothly. The 'mathematical images' which beautifully illustrate the ...

Some scenes are maybe drawn out too long, but for the most part he manages to keep the film flowing smoothly. The 'mathematical images' which beautifully illustrate the clockwork mind of Harold Crick are a great idea and reminiscent of the Ikea scene from Fight Club. The acting on the whole was of an excellent standard. Will Ferrell's dry delivery was absolutely perfect for the role of a man with his fate in the hands of a seemingly unknown force. Maggie Gyllenhaal, Dustin Hoffman and Queen Latifah all give very respectable performances as does the relatively unknown Tony Hale. Yet I felt that the gem in this movie had to be Emma Thompson's performance as the neurotic and fidgety author Kay Eiffel who seems to become increasingly unstrung as the movie progresses. I was expecting a generic Hollywood romantic comedy yet the storyline was sufficiently quirky and engaging, and performances were superb.

A Great Film With A Fun Cast And A Unique Story
Stranger than Fiction is a story about a dull IRS agent named Harold Crick whose life is turned upside down when he starts hearing a voice narrating his life. Will Ferrel shines in this lead role as a man who makes a transition from a dull and routine life to a vibrant and colorful one. The supporting cast is very strong with help from Dustin Hoffman and company. The story for this film is unique, fun, and memorable. Harold is an obsessive routine follower, counting the number of brush strokes he uses each morning as he cleans his teeth. Then, one day, his life is turned upside down as he begins to hear a voice narrate his every move and thought. He audits a beautiful and socially rebellious young woman who he falls in love with, and meets up with a quirky college professor who ...

That's what real life is...
We all have our quirks, and we're all worth loving. While that is not the Grand Message of this movie, its certainly in there. Now, some might find this film "a little slow" - but that's because they're not really paying attention. And I guarantee, if you pay a little bit to this gem the payback is awesome! The not-giving-anything-hugely-important-away-premise is: Harold Crick (Ferrell) is a lonely-but-self-respecting IRS auditor who realizes that an articulate English woman's voice is narrating his every move from inside his head. You see, Harold is a bit of an odd duck, too, and he compulsively counts and measures things in the background chatter of his actually creative mind. This is brilliantly illustrated in the movie through sophisticated computer graphics superimposed over the ... We all have our quirks, and we're all worth loving.

The not-giving-anything-hugely-important-away-premise is: Harold Crick (Ferrell) is a lonely-but-self-respecting IRS auditor who realizes that an articulate English woman's voice is narrating his every move from inside his head. You see, Harold is a bit of an odd duck, too, and he compulsively counts and measures things in the background chatter of his actually creative mind. This is brilliantly illustrated in the movie through sophisticated computer graphics superimposed over the action while Harold moves through space, and for as long as he bothers to mildly preoccupy himself with such trivia - its a refreshing homage to compulsivity like this. Along the way, he meets a radical baker (Maggie Gyllenhaal at her best) who he "unprofessionally" falls for. But she doesn't want to have anything to do with him...and besides, he's got to get rid of the English woman (Emma Thompson) first! Superbly directed by Marc Forster (the brilliant director of "Finding Neverland" and the largely unseen masterpiece "Stay") there are some great actors in the smaller roles: Dustin Hoffmann, Queen Latifah (as a dead-serious publisher's "hit-man") and cameos by other greats like Tom "Amadeus" Hulce and Linda Hunt). If you previously dismissed this as "another dumb Will Ferrell comedy" - you've got a pleasant surprise waiting for you.

Stranger than Fiction Movie
Actually I rented this movie with a free movie rental from my local Movie Gallery. While we were trying to decide which movie to see, my eight-year-old "baby" sister, Mariah, almost threw a fit because she did not want to see another "dumb" movie. Because it was my free movie rental, I was the one who got to choose. She ended up enjoying this movie. Will Ferrell stars as Harold Crick, a mundane IRS agent/mathematician, who "little does he know" that Karen Eiffel, a writer's-block-suffering novelist (played by Emma Thompson) is writing her latest novel about HIM, perplexed about how to kill him. Queen Latifah is a wise-cracking, smart mouth of an author's assistant sent by the publisher to help with the writer's block and novel's plot. Of course, "little do they know" that Harold Crick is ... Actually I rented this movie with a free movie rental from my local Movie Gallery.

Queen Latifah is a wise-cracking, smart mouth of an author's assistant sent by the publisher to help with the writer's block and novel's plot. Of course, "little do they know" that Harold Crick is an actual person. Maggie Gyllenhaal plays a creative baker who Harold Crick is supposed to auditing, but ends up falling in love with him. Dustin Hoffman add a cuteness but seriousness dimension to this flick as Professor Jules Hilbert, a literary genius who is trying to help Harold Crick out of the dilemma of being killed in Eiffel's story (and thus be killed in real life). I loved how this film taught about the inevitability of death, the simpleness and continuity of life, and choosing to live the type of life you want to live. Will Ferrell delivers an outstanding performance without his irritating, immature, annoying, and often crude humor so typical of most of his roles. (Sorry to all you Will Ferrel fans, but I usually do not like the type of characters he portrays.) Will Ferrel "grew up" in this movie. This movie has a surprize ending that will keep you guessing till the end! Definitely a fun, different movie!
